Android 17 Triggers Touchscreen Bugs Across Pixel Lineup as Google’s Cache Fix Falls Short
3 articles · Updated · Android Police · Jun 19
Summary
Pixel users say Android 17 is causing severe touchscreen failures, including missed taps, extra inputs and swipes registering in the wrong direction.
Google has acknowledged the issue on IssueTracker and advised users to clear the Pixel Launcher cache, but multiple users said that step did not resolve the bug.
At least 1 user reported that disabling Smooth Display fixed the problem, and the fix held even after the feature was turned back on, though results were mixed.
The touchscreen problem adds to earlier Android 17 complaints over Wi-Fi connectivity and disappearing home-screen widgets, deepening concerns about the update’s stability.
