I was excited to see the thread on wifi connection but disappointed that the fix (WIFI Country) did not work for me. For some reason the topic is locked (closed I suppose). Reopen! PIXEL2XL, running 3.3. Connected to hot spot successfully (checked with chrome browser on pi). Shows "connecting" but alas, it never does.
Pixel 2XL is one of our reference phones and everything works fine either via WiFi or USB. Please check whether your setup meets system requirements. Also please reproduce the problem and provide us log file located at /home/pi/.openauto/cache/openauto.log location.
