Tl; Dream
- Android 16 causes a very annoying mistake where Pixel phones take too long to wake up.
- Google is aware of the problem and is working on a solution, and temporary solution is also available.
- This is one of several errors reported by users after the Android 16 update, but there are many more, including freezing of lock screens and non -lasting gestures.
Android 16 Is the taste of the season, and pixelists already enjoy the latest Baklava update. Provided, plenty of The heading features are missing from this release but there are still enough changes here to call Android 16 a large update to the platform. Unfortunately for some pixelists, this update also brings in new errors, such as this annoying where the phone takes too long to wake up. Google is aware of this and is working on a solution for it, but there seems to be much more that needs to highlight.
Pixel phones are slow to wake up after Android 16
Reddit -User Jdawg0024 Highlighted that waking Pixel 9 Pro XL has become unreliable after updating to Android 16. Their phone does not stay reacts for about five seconds each time they try to wake the display, either by double tapping the screen or by pressing the power button. The phone works normally when it has woken up, but if the screen turns off again, the problem repeats.
As you can imagine, this sounds very annoying. It is the type of error that adversely affects the user experience in a very noticeable way, but not enough to become a dealbreaker, so most continue to use the device, but remain frustrated. Many other users chimet in to confirm that they are facing the same problem and we can see many others complain about More Reddit thread. For what it is worth, we could not reproduce the problem on a pair of Pixel devices on Android 16, including a Pixel 9 Pro XL.
The official Pixelcommunity account black to the complaint, and advise the user to restart the device to resolve the problem temporarily:
We are aware of this problem and a solution will be published over the coming weeks. At present, you can restart your device to resolve the problem temporarily.
Some users suggest disable Press to check your phone and Lift to check your phone in Settings> Display & Touch> Lock ScoreThen restart the device and re -activate both features. This seems to solve the problem, although some users also say it just does it temporarily. Still, you can try it and see if it works for you.
Android 16 -update seems to give many new errors
This is not the only mistake that users face with Android 16, but it is the most widespread. Based on many user reports over Reddit and X, we can also gather that users face the following problems with the Android 16 update:
- Lock screen often freezes
- Slow/Do not respond fingerprint locks up
- Not responding screen movements
- Erratic auto-lighting
- Incon -erratic/Non -Works Proximity Sensor
- Auto-Rotat stops working
- Apps freeze and do not respond to touch
- Camera freezes, which often requires multiple shutter button taps to take a picture
- Android Auto Drops Connection
- Circle to search stop working
For most of these problems, you resolve the device temporarily. As part of the troubleshooting steps, try a factory reset to see if the problems are solved, but remember to back up your data, as it is all dried. If problems persist, consider rolling back to Android 15 and waiting for the next stable release that hopefully solves the problems.
You can and should also File an error report with Google To add your voice to the complaints. These expensive phones get a “stable” update after a comprehensive beta program, so such a long list of errors is unacceptable.
