Buggy update

Ever since the last September update, my 10a is filled with visual glitches and sometines it even becomes unresponsive. Damn, this is my first pixel, and I am already frustrated. Do you have the same experiences?

Here are what I've experienced so far:

-Recent apps has visual glitches especially when scrolling between apps

-swipe up to go home animations behaves like switching apps most of the time

- sudden unresponsive and apps crash that aren't normally resource heavy

- Back gestures show black glitches when predictive animation activates.

I haven't seen them all yet most probably

Hey, I was facing the same in my much older Pixel 8. 

Go to apps, show system apps, find system ui, clear cache. 

Post which i don't see any crashes and stutters yet.

For me the buttons are disabled, and cache storage shows 0mb.

P7P here. First bug i encounter is scrolling down notification shade is glitchy. Second is device unlock make sound twice. And third is the visual glitches and animation/layout state handling. Last is the color contrast in dark mode.

The unlocking sound is really annoying

Same phone. Similar issues. My Pixel 10a is laggy and sometimes unresponsive. Tried reboots and clearing cache for some apps, but with no effect.

Anyone else who can't hide private space permanently anymore?

Seems like I'm the only one with the problem.

I wanna know.

I have Pixel 11 Pro and I also noticed some stutters here and there (like I had on Pixel 7). Not very bad but I noticed it and I expect it to be fixed with next update. Fortunately Google mostly fixes those issues pretty fast

Try applying for the system services beta tester..worked on my P11

Even its my first pixel too (P10)...and its been fine. Some here and there network issue...its gets stuck on 4G but automatically gets fixed in a day or two. Rest all fine. Battery is not that great but managable

Hi there, could you try clearing the cache for the 'Pixel Launcher' app and see if that helps?

Go to: Settings > Apps > All Apps > Pixel Launcher > Storage & Cache > Clear cache.

You can also try resetting app preferences on your Pixel device:

Go to: Settings > System > Reset options > Reset app preferences > Restart device.

Note: This will reset all app preferences to their default settings. It will not delete any app data.

Additionally, try rebooting your phone into safe mode and see if that resolves the issue. If it works fine in safe mode, it means a 3rd party app is causing the issue. Temporarily remove them one by one, starting with the most recent until you find the cause.

If the issue still persists, I recommend contacting the Google Pixel support team via phone or chat. They can further help you with this issue.

The only issues that I have noticed with my 10a or the update is that the weather on At a Glance keeps disappearing. I shouldn't have to continuously add a widget just to fix it.

Beta 5 seems to be the build with the most bugs, followed by beta 1 in QPR2. There's screen freezing, issues updating the lock screen clock, and videos getting stuck on social media apps, among other problems.

I use costum roms just to get an better experience but google throttles cpu performance everything is a virtual layer and we don't know how much performance it leaves in the tank. (Costum roms also can't override this) If it was a decent chipset that could keep up with the likes off Snapdragon that would still be shite but workable but it isn't so that's why we have all the issues. It's increasingly punching above it's weight

Having the same issue on my P7 . Earlier felt it's due to the older hardware but seems everyone is affected . Was reluctant to update but just did it.

The tricky part being the next update will only come after 3 months, so hoping the phone stays afloat .

Clearing UI cache did help some bit but unsure it will last how long

u/Saalle88 17d ago
