It's a really weird issue for sure. I've had nothing but issues with this screen. I've had it for all of 4 months, and had to have the screen replaced for a band across the center horizontally that was not accepting touch. Three screens later, and finally I have one that doesn't have any visual or touch defects, and now I get flashbanged if I fumble unlocking it. Ugh.
If you're consistently having screen issues with your Pixel and it's not due to any accidental damage but straight out the box it could very well be a problem with the motherboard. Various ways to solve this like contacting Google and seeing if they'll do an in-warranty replacement device, or you could see if a Google authorized repair center will do a MOBO replacement. However the suggestion I commented elsewhere in this thread is the better 1st step to take
Yeah, I've had 4 screens replaced. First one, a horizontal band just stopped taking touch input about 3/4 of the way down, and then they replaced it 3 times, each with unique display issues out of the box, and now this lol. This is my first Google phone and, honestly, probably my last.
Edit:just realized you were replying in a chain I had already explained all of that. Oh well!
I will say, my used Pixel 6 (GrapheneOS) has worked beautifully so far, with no hardware defects. If I had to complain, the speakers aren't particularly loud, but I've had no hardware issues with it. I agree with other people, it sounds like it could be a bad motherboard? It would be interesting if you could post a video of the issue
I'll see what I can do about a video. The only thing I really have to record is... Well, my phone lol. I'll borrow one at some point.
Can confirm as well, the speakers kinda blow on the pixel 7 pro, as well lol
