Instead, users across Reddit, X and Google\u2019s support forums have reported erratic touchscreen behaviour and unreliable connectivity on several Pixel models.<\/p>\n<p>The touchscreen issue appears to affect Pixel 10, Pixel 9, Pixel 8 and some Pixel 7 devices. Users claim their screens intermittently stop responding to taps and swipes, while others have reported \u201cgesture inversion\u201d, where scrolling gestures behave in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<p>Some users say toggling Smooth Display off and back on provides temporary relief, suggesting the issue may be software-related rather than a hardware fault.<\/p>\n<p>Connectivity complaints are also mounting. Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a and some Pixel 6a users claim 5G has disappeared since the Android 17 update, with handsets dropping back to LTE or losing mobile data altogether.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Others have reported missing eSIM profiles after restarting their phones.<\/p>\n<p>A separate Wi-Fi bug appears to affect Google apps in particular, including YouTube, Gmail, the Play Store, Google Keep and Google Photos. In some cases, phones show as connected to Wi-Fi but apps fail to load data.<\/p>\n<p>Pixel community moderators have suggested resetting mobile network settings as a temporary workaround. The process clears Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and mobile network configurations, meaning users will need to reconnect devices and networks.<\/p>\n<p>Google has reportedly acknowledged some Android 17 issues, including missing widgets, and is expected to address bugs in future Pixel updates.<\/p>\n<p>Users affected by the latest problems have been encouraged to submit reports through Pixel feedback tools and Google\u2019s support forums.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnews.com.au\/android-17-update-triggers-pixel-touchscreen-5g-and-wi-fi-complaints\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Android 17 Update Triggers Pixel Touchscreen, 5G And Wi-Fi Problems \u2013 channelnews https:\/\/www.channelnews.com.au\/android-17-update-triggers-pixel-touchscreen-5g-and-wi-fi-complaints\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":278115,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/bCFDq7YJbbnpbKDrL5YPK9.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,72],"class_list":["post-278113","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\/278113"}],"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=278113"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278113\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":278116,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278113\/revisions\/278116"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
