TL;DR
- Many Pixel 9 Professional XL devices are experiencing an issue where contacts fail to consistently register input at the edges of the screen.
- Rebooting the telephone may potentially resolve the issue immediately.
Are you worried about scratching the screen, dropping it, or losing it in the first place? Will the efficiency meet or even surpass your lofty expectations? Will this coming year’s prospects live up to their reputation of being truly spectacular? Can the battery sustain a full day’s intense usage without running out of steam? While various approaches can lead to frustration, a common concern is whether the touchscreen on one’s new phone will function correctly. As this issue gathers momentum, it appears likely that a significant number of users will experience issues with touchscreen performance.
In recent weeks, numerous owners of the newly released Pixel 9 Professional XL have taken to Reddit to share their experiences with frustrating touchscreen input problems. Multiple reviewers, including and most recently, have reported similar issues with the 9 Pro XL’s touchscreen responsiveness, specifically noting that it struggles to accurately respond to input in the very edges of the screen.
What’s particularly frustrating about these reviews is their seemingly haphazard nature, rendering any discernible patterns or habits utterly elusive. Frequently, a faucet installed in a nook will still register, albeit occasionally, as long as it’s not the only one attempting to make contact. On various touchpoints, the screen responds instantaneously when swiped from an edge, yet remains unresponsive to individual taps. Under specific conditions, the sensors may fail to detect anything whatsoever at the corners. Despite being a common occurrence where apps conceal essential buttons or intrusive ads, this issue has the potential to be incredibly frustrating.
The recurring glitch affecting some Pixel 9 Pro XL users is reminiscent of a software program’s difficulties, with numerous reports surfacing about the problem being temporarily alleviated by a device restart – an imperfect solution, as it is not a sustainable remedy.
Have we contacted Google to determine their awareness of these reviews and inquire whether they have any official guidance on addressing such behaviors? Well, you should definitely reconsider and replace this publication with a more meaningful one.
