Android 17 is undergoing a rocky start to life, to put it mildly, with display and 5G issues joining the list of complaints.
Google’s latest mobile OS started rolling out to Pixel phones last week, but we’ve already reported on an issue users are having with Wi-Fi connectivity.
Now, some Pixel users are reporting problems with touchscreen operation following the update to Android 17.
Various Reddit reports are pointing to input problems whereby a Pixel running Android 17 will ignore taps or botched vertical swipes, moving the display in the opposite direction to the one intended.
This follows hot on the heels of reports of a mobile connectivity bug, which restricts mobile connectivity to LTE or even cuts mobile connectivity altogether. It appears to have affected a number of Pixel devices, including the Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 8a and Pixel 6a.
In the case of this particular bug, at least, there appears to be a fairly simple solution. One Pixel user claims to have fixed the problem by going into repair mode (Settings > System > Repair mode) and restarting their phone.
As mentioned at the outset, this followed on from reports of an issue that seems to cut Wi-Fi connectivity within certain apps – including Google’s own.
Google is expected to roll out its first major Android 17 update in September, which will supply the first quarterly Pixel Drop. However, with all of these early issues being reported, the first minor bug-crushing update could be even more important.
The official Pixel Community account on Reddit advised affected users to clear the cache of the Pixel Launcher app, or reboot in safe mode. If the problem persists, Google says the issue may be a third-party app and removing them one by one to find the culprit is the best workaround.
But another Redditor found that turning off triple tap to zoom in the accessibility settings fixed some touchscreen issues, which others claimed worked on their devices too.
5G Dropping To LTE On Google Pixel Phones
A 5G connectivity issue is dropping affected Pixels to LTE or causing full signal loss, with missing eSIM profiles and Wi-Fi networks failing to auto-reconnect also reported. This affects the Pixel 9 series, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, and Pixel 6a.
Workaround: Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Mobile Network Settings. This resets Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and mobile data configs but not personal data. Some users claimed this worked on their devices.
Home Screen Widgets Disappearing On Google Pixel Phones
Widgets vanish from the home screen after the first reboot post-update. Affects the Pixel 9, Pixel 10, Pixel 6a and others. Google has acknowledged it and says it is actively working on a fix.
Workaround: One user in the Pixel support thread replied with the following solution: turn on Extreme Battery Saver and then turn it off. Alternatively, toggle Focus Mode on and off. Some claimed this brought their widgets back.
Home Screen Search Bar Broken On Google Pixel Phones
Reported by some Pixel 10 Pro users, including the original "disaster" post. The bottom Google search bar loses its Gemini icon, Google Lens button, and voice input. Folders on the home screen also disappeared for one Pixel support forum user. The fix in the original post was to uninstall their work profile, which sounds similar to a multiple profiles issue from 2023 that removed access to local files.
Workaround: Uninstall and reinstall your work profile. A lot of effort, but it worked for the original poster.
What Next For Affected Google Pixel Users?
If you haven't updated yet and your Pixel is working fine, waiting a week or two for Google to address and ship fixes is completely reasonable. You'll miss the new Android 17 features in the meantime, but they'll be there when the update is more stable.
Widget woes
I love a good widget. At their best, these bite-sized app extensions provide loads of useful information (which would typically require several taps and swipes to access) at a glance.
However, as I’ve come to appreciate, functionality is only half the deal. For most people to use a widget long-term, it must actually look good. Most of us look at our phone home screen repeatedly throughout the day; an ugly widget will be a regular irritant.
First-party widgets on Pixel phones are hidden behind dated, cluttered and confusing designs that make poor use of the available space
Unfortunately, Google doesn’t seem to have got the memo. Its first-party widgets on Pixel phones aren’t lacking in detail, but they’re hidden behind dated, cluttered and confusing designs that make poor use of the available space.
That’s particularly apparent on the Pixel 10 Pro XL I’m using to test the Android 17 beta. Despite its large 6.8-inch display, the home screen can quickly feel overwhelmed by unsightly widgets that feel totally out of place with the slick software experience elsewhere.
When Google finally let us remove the annoying ‘At a Glance’ widget last year, I was on the lookout for a first-party alternative that better suited my needs. But it’s been an incredibly disappointing experience.
Weather was the most obvious candidate, but the stock Pixel Weather app offers just two options: a basic temperature indicator or a huge panel with forecasting and even a ‘feels like’ temperature. Neither looks quite right – why is there no middle ground?
Maybe a clock widget will do the trick instead, I thought. Google does at least offer a lot more choice here, but to call the designs basic would be an understatement. A simple digital display showing the date and time is as good as it gets.
Okay, so how about a calendar to see my upcoming events? Unfortunately, Google Calendar is one of the worst offenders. Again, you can choose from only two options: a small schedule view that never offers enough room to see anything, or a huge month view that’s almost impossible to decipher. There’s so much unfulfilled potential here.
And don’t even get me started on Digital Wellbeing. Being presented with my screen time when I unlock my phone has been one of the most effective ways for me to reduce mindless usage. But I hate what I’m looking at on the Pixel, and not for the reason you’d expect.
Alongside a basic heading and text that feels like it’s taken about 30 seconds to cobble together, Google does at least include three bubbles of varying sizes to represent your most-used apps that day.
But it would be really helpful if you could actually make sense of what you’re looking at. For some reason, the three colours chosen for these bubbles in dark mode are light grey, medium grey and dark grey. Prefer light mode? You can look forward to the vibrant hues of black, grey and off-white.
It basically defeats the point of a chart like this: to help you easily make sense of the data. Without bright colours to differentiate the bubbles, it’s impossible to glance at the widget and get the key info you’re looking for.
Occasionally, I also like to pin a Google Keep note to the home screen to remind myself of something. But it’s a painful experience, because the widget is so damn ugly.
This disappointing pattern is repeated across basically every Google widget I’ve tried plonking on the home screen. They’re either too big, too ugly or too cluttered, with the worst offenders effortlessly achieving all three.
The lack of attention on widgets in Android 17 is a major oversight
Of course, many third-party apps offer better widgets of their own. But I rely on Google’s stock apps, so it’s incredibly frustrating to have to switch to another service just to get a decent widget.
Poor first-party widgets have been a feature of Pixel phones for some time now. But with Google introducing some long-overdue improvements, the lack of attention to widgets in Android 17 is a major oversight.
One UI shows what’s possible
I might be able to excuse Google if no other Android phone maker could do any better. But with its One UI skin, Samsung’s gorgeous widgets show what’s possible if you put a little thought into design.
As an experiment, I set myself the task of trying to find alternatives to the Pixel widgets I mentioned above on my Galaxy Z Fold 7. Within minutes, my Samsung home screen was kitted out with a selection that looked and performed 10 times better than Google’s.
The dual clock widget adjusts the background automatically depending on the local time, giving a stunning two-tone effect. Samsung’s weather app delivers clean, minimalist visuals, with the background again matching the current conditions.
Within minutes, my Samsung home screen was kitted out with a selection that looked and performed 10 times better than Google’s
And the Calendar app offers a far better balance, combining a compact month view with key events for the day. In other words: exactly what I’m looking for in a calendar widget.
But, for me, Digital Wellbeing is the best of the lot. It has the same basic concept as the Google version, yet swaps the unsightly bubbles for a much sleeker bar. And crucially, each app is clearly indicated using a bright colour (green, blue and purple). What a concept!
Once upon a time, Samsung’s Android skin was mocked for its ugly design. These days, that couldn’t be further from the truth, and it’s particularly evident in the excellent selection of first-party widgets.
But, in truth, almost every Android phone maker does a better job of widgets than Google. Pixel owners deserve better.
A few widgets slapped on the home screen might not sound like a huge deal, but they’re a massive turn-off for me. I use widgets every day, and if they’re not up to scratch, sticking with that phone will feel like a huge chore.
Google really shouldn’t underestimate the impact that widgets can have on the look and feel of the phone. Pixel software is renowned for its slick, intuitive user experience, but this is an unfortunate and ongoing misstep.
Unless Google surprises us with wholesale changes in the final version of Android 17, it looks like we’re in for another year of sub-par widgets. And that means I’ll be sticking with Samsung phones for the foreseeable future.
Besides new features (most of which do not work as advertised), the latest major Android and Wear OS release packs several bug fixes and enhancements for a better user experience. These changes should address many long-standing annoyances, while the underlying improvements will improve the performance and battery life of your Pixel.
For the Pixel 10 family, the Android 17 build contains several fixes for display-related issues, including a white flickering dot appearing at the top of the screen and graphical glitches. There are also several camera-specific bug fixes, including tweaks to improve its stability and reduce unwanted memory leaks.
The full list of bug fixes and stability improvements for compatible Pixel phones is as follows:
The June 2026 update includes bug fixes and improvements for Pixel users – see below for details

Fix for an issue where the taskbar could not be dismissed during certain user interactions*[6]
In short, Android 17 doesn't resolve long existing bugs, or address spyware and other malware they add in exchange for corporate bribes, nor do most of the new features work properly.
Given Google was recently fined $1 Billion for Sedition and spying, it begs the question -
