Shortly after Google had released an Android security patch update for the Google Pixel and Pixel XL back in February, several owners reported some issues with the Bluetooth on their device. The problem persisted even with the release of the security update this month, leading to some very frustrated Pixel owners. Fortunately, Google has now announced that it has fixed the problem by apparently making some changes server-side.

According to 9to5Google, Google has apparently identified the problem and fixed the issue on their end. The company didn't really detail the cause of the problem and how they went about in fixing it. The report further points out that a Google employee actually posted on a thread in the Pixel User Community revealing to users that the problem has now been fixed.

The post on the thread explained that the issue was resolved via "some server-side changes," which basically means that Pixel and Pixel XL owners will no longer need to manually download any type of updates for their devices. The Bluetooth issue doesn't really affect all Pixel owners. However, those who are affected have reported that their Bluetooth is suddenly disabled without notice and then automatically turns itself back on. The sporadic issue becomes very apparent when the device is used to stream audio on to wireless headphones or on car stereos.

While it isn't really clear what the "changes" were within Google's servers, a report from GSM Arena claims that it might have something to do with Google's own Play Service. The report reveals that Google is actually starting to roll out an update to the Google Play Service, specifically version 10.5.x.

The update started to roll out earlier in the week and should reach everyone gradually in the days to come. Google Play Service updates happen automatically in the background, which means that there is no further action needed from Pixel and Pixel XL owners.
