10. 9. Bluetooth Issues There are a lot of complains about the Bluetooth connectivity. There are thousands of accessories and devices that need Bluetooth to connect with your Pixel 3.

Also, we are hearing a lot of complaints related to the connectivity issue with cars. The users are facing a very hard time connecting it with their vehicles. Fix: The first thing that you should do is deleting all the Bluetooth pairings and starting over. Also, you can try restarting your phone and establishing a new Bluetooth connection.

11. 10. Speaker Doesn’t Function Properly During the Start of the Call Here is another weird Pixel 3 issue. During the recent months, several users reported that the speakerphone option hasn’t been functioning during the start of the call.
