Android 17 seems to have gifted Pixel users yet another touch bug
Android Authority • • technology
Key Points:
- Since the rollout of Android 17, several Pixel users have reported unresponsive touchscreen issues, particularly while gaming or using full-screen apps like YouTube.
- The problem varies in severity, affecting only parts of the screen for some users, while others experience broader touch unresponsiveness, though navigation gestures and notification access remain functional.
- The unresponsive touch zones appear to shift with screen rotation, indicating the issue is likely a software bug rather than a hardware defect.
- Google has not officially acknowledged the problem as a bug and has advised users to reboot their devices in safe mode as a potential workaround.
- The root cause remains unidentified, and it is unclear if Google is actively working on a fix; the company has been contacted for further comment.
