Android Central • • technology
Key Points:
- Google Pixel users across various models have reported a "missing incoming call" bug, where their phones fail to ring or notify them of incoming calls, with some cases dating back over a month.
- The issue appears linked to the Google Phone app rather than the Pixel hardware itself, affecting both stable and beta versions of Android, and potentially impacting other Android devices such as the Galaxy S25.
- Users have tried standard troubleshooting steps without success, and some have found disabling Google's Call Screen feature temporarily resolves the problem.
- Google is reportedly aware of the issue, as indicated by responses on community forums and an open thread on Google's Issue Tracker, but no official fix has been announced yet.
- The problem poses serious risks, especially for users relying on timely calls for emergencies, highlighting the need for urgent attention from Google.
