Google rolled out Android 16 QPR2 for Pixels earlier this week, bringing several features and changes. It also included a barrage of bug fixes. But, as is typical with any major Pixel update, it also introduces some issues of its own. Several Pixel 10<\/a> owners report flickering issues on the Always-on Display after installing the update.<\/p>\n

Reports are flooding in from Pixel 10<\/a> owners on Reddit<\/a> about the display flickering while the Always-On Display is active (via Android Authority<\/a>). For some, the flicker occurs even when the phone displays the screensaver when on a wireless charger. Other users are noticing even weirder glitches, like the screen going black for a second during unlock.<\/p>\n

The bug appears to only affect Pixel 10 units running the December update, at least based on the reports on Reddit.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how widespread the issue is, and there doesn\u2019t appear to be a workaround yet. So, for now, if you are bothered by the flickering bug on your Pixel’s Always-on Display, your only option is to turn it off. If anything, it should at least help boost the phone’s runtime.<\/p>\n

Given the lack of widespread reports, don’t expect Google to release a mid-month fix. Even at the earliest, it will likely bundle the fix with the January 2026 security patch.<\/p>\n

The Android always-on screen situation is already ridiculous, and such bugs only make matters worse.<\/p>\n

Pixel 10\u2019s display woes continue<\/p>\n

This is not the first display or lock screen-related bug that Pixel 10 owners have faced since its launch. Within days of the phone’s debut, Pixel 10 users reported screen issues, such as a color bar randomly appearing on the display.<\/p>\n

Google rolled out a fix<\/a> within a couple of weeks. However, that did not fully resolve the bug, as many Pixel users reported seeing a “fuzzy display”<\/a> even in October.<\/p>\n

If you are a Pixel 10 user, you will likely find these repeated display issues frustrating. At this point, all you can do is wait and hope for Google to deliver a permanent fix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google rolled out Android 16 QPR2 for Pixels earlier this week, bringing several features and changes.
