These problems appear to be directly linked to a Play update, yet they don’t seem to persist.
Key points to consider:
– A report indicates that Google’s Pixel 10 and 9 series devices are experiencing difficulties after a Play systems update.
– Certain devices are dealing with unresponsive Pixel Launchers; moreover, numerous Pixel phones are also booting up rather slowly post-update.
– December was challenging for the Pixel 10 series, as users reported significant app crashes and issues with the AOD.
There is a report suggesting that some users with Google’s latest Pixel phones may encounter problems after a behind-the-scenes update.
The potentially slow or “buggy” Pixel 10 and 9 phones were highlighted by 9to5Google, which noted several issues following a Play system update. The publication remarked on difficulties with a Pixel 10 unit after a minor 15MB patch. This device appeared to experience the most significant problems, as the post underscored an extremely sluggish Pixel launcher. It mentioned that the Pixel launcher “did not fully load.”
The device’s display was stuck, showing its wallpaper for an extended period without presenting a major requirement: its UI. Furthermore, 9to5 observed that their status bar was also absent after the update.
Tests involving a Pixel 10 Pro, which also exhibited issues, were conducted. The report noted that the Pro model had trouble after rebooting. Specifically, the device’s display “remained black” for what felt like an extended duration. It’s uncertain how widespread these issues are and if they are directly related to the latest Google Play systems update (which might be the case, given the timing).
The publication emphasizes that once the rebooting sequences are finished, the Pixel devices don’t seem to exhibit difficulties. A common issue reportedly stems from the rebooting sequence and its sluggishness.
A rough start to the new year:
The Pixel 10 has faced some challenges lately, as December brought complications with the severe cold. Users began receiving the monthly patch early last month, but quickly reported AOD (always-on display) concerns across all channels. Reportedly, the update led to a significant flickering issue with the AOD that users found difficult to remedy.
The flickering occurred during wireless charging, with clock refreshes, and even while unlocking the device. This problem was relatively confined to the Pixel 10 series, likely annoying consumers with Google’s newest lineup.
Shortly thereafter, a second issue emerged, with reports describing frustrating app crashes following the December patch. Apps would freeze, remain on their splash screen, or show the “not responding” error. Basic troubleshooting measures proved ineffective, prompting even greater calls for Google’s intervention. Fortunately, some relief for the Pixel 10 issues arrived by mid-December, as Google released a vital (emergency) update.
The patch aimed to address battery drain and touch-related problems.
