Summary
Dozens of Pixel users say Android 17 has introduced intermittent Wi-Fi failures, with some connections dropping every few minutes or slowing noticeably after the update.
Game complaints have also surfaced on Pixel 8, 9 and 10 phones, where titles such as Clash Royale and Brawl Stars reportedly stutter despite modest hardware demands.
The gaming issue appears less widespread than the Wi-Fi problem, and some testing found no slowdown, suggesting the bugs may affect only certain devices, games or configurations.
Users and Android Authority have pointed to the latest Google Play System or Play Services updates as a possible factor, but Google has not confirmed a cause or issued a fix.
