Google has acknowledged the issue but has not yet released a fix, leaving users with unreliable workarounds and recommendations to delay updating where possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Only less than 1 week has passed since Android 17 officially became available for Pixel phones. Instead of the expected enthusiasm and excitement, Pixel users are venting their frustration on issues regarding the touchscreen, including erratic scrolling. According to discussions on Reddit, the screen occasionally and briefly stops responding altogether. In other cases, the system reads vertical gestures backward. You swipe up, but the screen scrolls down as if you&#8217;d swiped the other way.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Owners report that these problems are occurring on the Pixel 10 (available for $725 at Amazon), 9, 8 and 7, which suggests a software-level cause rather than a hardware fault affecting a specific model. The failures can pop up anywhere on the phone, such as in system menus or third-party apps. So far, the Pixel 6 seems to be free of these issues. Other models (Pixel 5 and earlier models) are also unaffected, since they haven&#8217;t been updated to Android 17.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Google has acknowledged the issues, but is yet to release an official patch, update or workaround. An official Pixel Community account on Reddit suggested clearing the cache for the Pixel Launcher app or rebooting the phone in safe mode as a potential temporary solution. However, according to more than one user&#8217;s response, this doesn&#8217;t appear to help either.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">For now, affected Pixel owners are advised to either try out the suggested fixes or simply wait for an official fix. Those who are still running last year&#8217;s OS and haven&#8217;t yet installed Android 17 are advised to hold off and wait until the official bug-fix update comes out.<\/p>\n<p>\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/typo3conf\/ext\/nbc2journalist\/res\/User.png\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Jacob Fisher\"\/>Jacob Fisher &#8211; Translator <span title=\"2908\u00a0\">&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Android-17-update-triggers-freezing-and-scrolling-issues-on-Pixel-phones.1325975.0.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Android 17 update triggers freezing and scrolling issues on Pixel phones https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Android-17-update-triggers-freezing-and-scrolling-issues-on-Pixel-phones.1325975.0.html Publish Date: 2026-06-21&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":278049,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/Notebooks\/News\/_nc5\/Android-17.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,72],"class_list":["post-278048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-pixel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278048"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278048"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278048\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":278050,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278048\/revisions\/278050"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
