Re: Pixel 7 WiFi does not work in certain countries
#2I am right now in Sri Lanka and couldn't connect to a WiFi that I connected to after I still was on airplane mode. After reading that support thread I could reproduce this issue. It really seems that WiFi networks are not discoverable in Sri Lanka when your device 'recognises' via connecting to the carrier that it is in Sri Lanka

#3Why does Google support consist of clueless 'product experts' who offer no support at all, ever? I've never seen a more useless support channel, it's insulting. I'd honestly rather them just say they offer no support at all, as it would save a lot of time and frustration.

These are most probably not google employees just people who like to "help" and get such titles for their posts resulting in a skewed persception of support without the company paying them which is a "win-win" situation (???)
the issue in the specific thread is the lack of common sense, so I buy a device and I can't travel with it ? a mobile phone that is not a gun. These are answers that could be attributed easily to a low-mid level chatbot

At least this Product Expert's replies, if you can translate Helldesk to English, had the clear meaning of you're totally screwed by our dumb policy, but I'm not allowed to just _tell_ you that outright, so let me try and say it passively. Who knows if that's what they really meant (the Helldesk language is nothing if not deniable), but it's interesting to note!

It's frustrating because the poster was basically asking if the Wifi of the Pixel 7 was disabled when it is in certain country, but the 'product expert' kept hiding behind the fact that it is currently in an unsupported country without answering the original question.

GrapheneOS would solve this issue permanently.

Yes this. Like a blast from the past, the 2000s with arrogant mods on vbulletins and phpbbs who were proud of their titles and Postcount. Say what you want about Reddit, but their implementation of karma improved that situation by so much.
"It's impossible to say what the issue here is" like wtf
