Android 17 update triggers freezing and scrolling issues on Pixel phones

[Redaktion]

Pixel owners are reporting touchscreen problems following the update to Android 17, including brief freezes and reversed scrolling gestures. Google has acknowledged the issue but has not yet released a fix, leaving users with unreliable workarounds and recommendations to delay updating where possible.

Pixel 9 user here since around two years. Always installed updates on day 1 and never had any of the issues promptly reported on reddit and news sites the day after the release. Since I'm not a particularly lucky individual, I think these kind of issues are quite normal (sadly) after a major software update and do not affect everyone. I want it to state it out because I was worried too when I first bought the device, but I do not think Google has a particularly worse QC than other brands. Other non Google devices have them too, iphones included. Pixel phones maybe get a bit more attention (as it should be, dont get me wrong). That said, I do hope it gets better and this issues not come again next wave of updates.
