So this just started happening very recently. It won't recognize that I'm touching the fingerprint scanner if my phone's screen has been off for X amount of time. No vibration, nothing to indicate that it realizes I'm touching it. Even when I turn on the screen to look at the lockscreen, it still won't detect my finger. After I unlock using my pattern, then lock again, it'll detect my finger when trying to unlock again. But if I let it sit for a bit with the screen off, it'll stop working again - almost as if it forgets to keep the fingerprint sensor on when it enters doze mode.
I thought it might be an issue with MHC19I, but I've had that update for almost a week now, and I hadn't seen this issue happen until today. And I don't see anyone else complaining about it recently.
It could also be due to a recent app upgrade, maybe? The list of apps that upgraded before I first noticed this issue are:
Chrome Beta, letgo, Robinhood (uses fingerprint sensor), TurboTax
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea on how to troubleshoot this? The Google rep wanted me to boot into safe mode, but I'm hesitant to do that due to this bug - it's happened to me before on this phone - or to do a factory reset, which is ridiculous.
I am experiencing the same thing. Exactly. On march build
Same thing here. Started yesterday as well. I also had Robinhood update yesterday. In looking at the app reviews, it is breaking the nexus imprint for the 6P & 5X. Just deleted the app and rebooted the phone. Will update if this fixes it.
Misery loves company, I guess. Glad I'm not alone. I disabled all my xposed modules and the issue still persists. Maybe it's due to a recent update for an app.
Do either of you guys have any of these apps installed? Let's see if we can narrow it down.
Edit: Yeah, it's probably Robinhood.
Deleting the Robinhood app and rebooting seems to have fixed my issues!!

Having the same issue. I was going to do a full reset. This threads saves my day.
I do have Robinhood installed. Didn't expect an app can cause this to happen.

Shucks mine phone just started doing same thing I am going to uninstall robinhood or go back to an old version. Can't believe robinhood did this! Has it been confirmed then it was robinhood?

Add me to the list. Just removed robinhood (before finding this thread) and haven't had the problem since. Thanks OP for the perfect description of said problem, as those were my exact symptoms as well. Problem started on the evening of the 17th... been pulling my hair out ever since. Even reinstalled the latest factory images (without wiping). I was so worried it was a hardware issue... glad it's not!
Hi All,
I'm an Android developer for Robinhood. Very sorry for the issue! We'd noticed it ourselves, but it took a while for us to realize that our own app was the cause. We have a fix ready to go out to the beta users on Monday. If you guys are interested in joining the beta, you can do so here: play.google.com/apps/testing/com.robinhood.android
Again very sorry for the trouble!

Hi there. Thanks for your reply. I don't use the beta version and I'm not interested in doing so for an app that handles my money. Please push the update to the stable build ASAP. Also, it'd be nice if you included the last-update-time to the widget. And re-adding the refresh button to the widget would be nice too. Thanks again!

Yeah I really don't have to many issues either I was just being snide. I do think it burns too much battery while sitting idle with screen off though. I shouldn't be losing 5 to 10 percent battery overnight. Mind you my overnights are 6 to 7 hours usually.

Everyone calm down, it's not in aosp yet

Finally, someone with common sense (and you beat me to it).
ROM's won't appear until it's in AOSP and Dev's re-compile.
for those devices it goes out to, we might see the OTA available if someone captures and upload it to their favorite BB
And then this could lend credence to VZ's hitting stores with 5.1 a week from Thursday (But I still think those would be a 5.0 variant with a open and update to 5.1 myself ...)

I'm on a replacement model and have the display scaling feature still. I wonder if it's something they changed for the older models.
The green battery Icon is disgusting. Can it be hidden without root?
I got the update as well, green battery icon or more distinguished battery icon....also when I hold down the power button to turn it off it now has a battery percentage along eith power off reset and what not, not sure if that is nes or not the added battery life on power hold that is.

I got this update yesterday, and now Im having new issues.. The lockscreen doesn't actually lock half the time, even when manually pressing the lock button. I'll hit 'home' to wake the phone and find myself right on my homescreen instead of the lock screen. I also keep getting a popup that says 'network connection failed', but everything seems to be working normally... Anybody else having issues from this new update?
My wife and I got this update to Nougat on Saturday (03/25). Went from Android 6.something to Android 7.0.
Overall, it seems a little snappier, but I think I had the lockscreen issue this morning that Smoghog mentioned. Pulled it off my belt and when I looked at the screen it was open and dialing my wife.
I'm also not sure I like that the pulldown notifications are in smaller type. My wife's a little upset she can't customize the balloon colors in Messages (unless we're missing something).
Only other thing is why is the security update from February if they're pushing this at the end of March?
Ever since i got this update last night, it won't let me change my wallpaper. It says "Application Not Installled". Anyone else have this issue?

So today I found out that the latest version of Swipe for Facebook (I think, pretty sure) created major problems. Pixel launcher would constantly crash, phone became semi useless cause of that. Then a couple reboots later, screen would go black after unlocking pass code. So I had to factory reset it. I reinstalled swipe and bam Pixel launcher crashed. So I used Google assistant to open Google play store and Uninstalled the app. So far no issue. My phone is a Google version and unlocked bootloader.

So report it to the developer instead of just ranting here, I think that might be a lot more productive. Or don't use it. Either way, not a "Pixel" issue....

I'm not saying it wasn't a problem with the app. What I am saying is that it is not a run of the mill app crashing, where you just uninstall and everything is good. Having someone or now two people mention it took a factory reset to fix things after installing the app is useful. Then people can decide to take a chance or wait.
Ignore them, uninstalling swipe made my pixel great again so we know it's not fake

So true. It's amazing to me that with all of Facebook's resources and with how much they rely on mobile users, that their mobile app is still so f***ing terrible. I was having some lag/stuttering issues on my LG V30 and after uninstalling facebook and LG's built in facebook installer app, my phone started running buttery smooth and hasn't hiccuped since. Now I just check facebook occasionally when I'm in front of my computer.
Uninstalling it from your phone immediately shows you how little you need that crap feed in your life.
Facebook is and always will be coded like garbage.

Ya very true. But ya know some of us can't live without it. I'm now using Friendly Facebook app. Seems to have no issues. I did email the dev team for swipe to let them know though.

When two or more fingers are placed on the screen for an extended period of time the touch input from the second finger will become erratic at times, jumping to different parts of the display while you are moving it. I play first person shooter games commonly and this issues is extremely annoying when trying to aim.
If anyone has time to test I highly encourage you to let Google know of the problem by going to:
Settings > System > About Phone > Send feedback about this device

Use issue # 70344455 from post #2. The one from DP has been deferred.
I put up a new video today demonstrating using one of Google's own apps vs a game.

Has anybody tested to see if the issue is present using any of the custom kernels on XDA? I am just trying to determine where the problem originated.
yes, i am using this one:

I have also sent feedback via settings and posted in the issue tracker. I would love to know of there are Pixel 2 XL owners that do not have this issue. If that is the case I will be submitting an RMA. Tomorrow I will be contacting support and asking for a definitive answer as to when and if we can expect a fix. This is the single most frustrating issue I have with the device. I love everything else about this phone but this is driving me nuts

I watched the videos attached and to my surprise and unfortunate relief I noticed you are having this issue with SGL. That and Afterpulse are unbearable to play.
Just remove your case
Happens to me all the time while zooming in on photos!

Any luck contacting support? I don't think RMA will help, as it is a software issue. SGL is frustrating as hell, I end up not completing any missions I start.

Are you using case? Try to reproduce your problem without it.

Do you have a link? It doesn't sound like the same kind of problem to me, but I am curious.

Well my apologies I thought you were trying to be a wise guy. Again this was one of the first possible solutions I thought of as I've had that work with previous devices. Sometimes the grounding when making contact with the actual device without a case does work. However, I've tried all possible fixes and none have worked.

Sure, but be ready for translating russian. http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=847032&view=findpost&p=69149836
Before this post some discussion and attempts of other people to reproduce that.

Thanks. Well, I tried it, no luck. It is most definitely software. Downgrading to 8.0.0 fixed it for me. I'm back on 8.1.0 now though, I shouldn't have to run older software and an outdated security patch just to "fix" a problem that Google should fix properly. Part of the appeal of the Pixel is being up to date.
I read somewhere that the Feb update is supposed to address some of the touch and swipe issues. Try again then.

Where did you read that? Google has been pretty silent on the issue.
Is is any better for Feb OTA update?
