Bug Fixes for Missing Network Icon and Wallpaper Crash in Android 14 Beta 1

Yesterday, the Android 14 Beta 1 dropped onto our Pixel phones, and we immediately delved in to find new improvements to share with you. While there weren’t really any noteworthy changes from the developer preview builds, there were a few problems that appeared to be rather common. You might want to know how to fix them, I suppose.

Missing 5G or LTE Network Icon

I was going to leave the house when I discovered that my Pixel 7 wouldn’t display an LTE or 5G network icon when WiFi was turned off. Since I didn’t think I had a data connection, I repeatedly turned on and off airplane mode, but that didn’t help. I next looked at my phone’s status stated that I was connected to the T-Mobile network, and the network signal bar indicated some connectivity, however the type of connection was not indicated by an icon. Then I loaded stuff in Chrome, Twitter, and Instagram, and they all functioned.

You can do the following to relieve your stress and get the network icon back:

Navigate to Settings > Network & Internet.

Click “Internet”

Then, click the gear or options icon next to your network provider.

Turn the “Use SIM” switch off, then back on.

Now, the status bar ought to display a connection-type icon once more.

If “com.android.qns” crashes during the procedure, it’s okay. Another bug that people are experiencing is that, although this may also help to repair it.If you attempted
