TL;DR
- Pixel 10 users report that they’re having issues with the phone’s always-on display since the December Pixel update.
- The always-on display is apparently toggling off and on briefly under some circumstances.
- We’ve asked Google for more info.
December’s Pixel update landed earlier this week with bug fixes in tow for Pixel 6 phones and newer. The changelog is almost entirely fixes: fixes for audio crashes, fixes for battery reporting errors, fixes for emergency calling — on and on. According to reports on social media, though, it’s also causing a new bug that’s driving some users up the wall.
A post by user subferno on the Pixel subreddit says that, since installing the December update, their Pixel 10 Pro’s always-on display has exhibited a “hard flicker,” apparently toggling on and off for a split second whenever it refreshes. Other users are having similar problems, too.
