Annoying hard or not responsive knock issue after taking out of the pocket. I'm not experiencing this in G3.
Taking out of pocket means right after the proximity sensor is open and is not blocked inside your pocket. Video below shows simulation of wha might happen whe. The phone is inside your pocket, it might read touches but will be blocked since the proximity is closed, but after it was open, the phone is having hard time capturing touches to turn on the display which is not happening in my G3.

Couldn't watch the video, but you mean Knock On doesn't always work?
Yes. I've had this on all 3 of my Verizon G4s. I'd say it falls under the heading of the common missed-touch issues.
Could be a missed touched issue but i'm leaning more towards to proximity delay action.. It seems that user needs to wait few seconds before knock will be registered
I have the same problem. When the hand is close to the sensor, the knock on does not work. Also if the sensor is covered by some object or if the phone is in your pocket, it need some seconds to enable the knock on touches.
I think there is a anti battery drain adjustment to avoid that the touch panel be always on.... But definitely is very slow...

Yes, it's too slow. Another function that might degrade the quality of knock on is the swipe down feature that previews time and notification icon.
Just received my replacement tablet and it has the same problem. When holding in landscape mode (power button on top left), you can hear a click on the lower left potion of the screen. Anyone else have this problem?
You mean when you push on the screen harder than you're supposed to?

Yes, i was applying a screen protector i had lying around and as i was pushing air bubbles out i could feel and hear a loud click. I let google know and they sent me a new one which has the same problem, just not as pronounced.
I have the same exact problem. I have never pushed 'hard' on my screen. I have a replacement coming, also. I'll post a follow up.
Edit: To elaborate on how much force it took to generate this issue. I picked it up with my left hand in landscape mode and I heard it. That small amount of pressure.
Honestly I don't understand why this amounts to getting a replacement?
It's just a click, does it make the device unusable? No.

You seem quite the negative Nancy, here. Telling people that they're pushing too hard, then telling questioning getting an issue resolved. Is it unheard of that someone get device without any issues, even IF it's cosmetic. Never mind that it might be something that could cause issues later when not within warranty. In my case, I contacted support, simply to determine if it was normal/expected. They processed my RMA immediately, I hadn't even gotten to asking for one. Chill out.

Because there screen is physically popping in and out. No need to be a strong fanboy but even my moto e is built better and i would expect a jesus device called pixel will have higher quality specs. I received my replacement and its still present though not as strong. I believe this is a manufacturing issue and others will soon notice.

People here are invested in the device, not only financially but emotionally, as this person clearly is. Saying something is defective with the device is like saying something is defective with them. In this case, both points may be correct.

I think I've just fed a troll. iPhone.
Same problem, but google seem a bit clingy to send me a replacement, I am in UK. I've heard UK support is pretty bad compared to US.
I have the same problem. I also noticed that the gap between the metal edges and the glass is wide in certain spots, and I can see right down the gap. When I push down on the screen, I can see a little bit of discoloration occur due to pressure from behind the screen. The discoloring is on the lower left side of the screen (when tablet is held sideways). I'm afraid it's bumping into a component or something.
My screen makes a clicking noise when pushing it on the left half. I really dont mind this issue.
No discoloration of the screen btw.

Maybe it's an strange question. Did you try smelling near the tablet when you did this? I try it and a strong smell like glue or some cleaning product comes out from the tablet. Hopefully I'm not crazy and is not hazardous. Please try it. Thanks!!

I just recieved my Pixel C today and I've got quite a large amount of creaking, clicking and sticking sounds in the bottom left hand quadrant of the device when held in landscape mode and it heads towards the middle of the screen.
There seems to be quite a bit of room between the screen and the rest of the device even when pressing lightly on the screen. It's almost like the screen isn't adhered properly somewhere and there's a gap causing the screen to creak and pop.
The screen also goes weird like its pressing on a component in this bottom left hand corner.
None of the other parts of the screen exhibit this behaviour.
I requested a call back from google and the rep acknowledged the issue and said it was normal and pointed me to a YouTube video with a slight popping sound which sounded very minor compared to mine.
The YouTube video I was directed to was this one https://youtu.be/k7aH00QRq5A
I was surprised I had to push to get a replacement and it was only when I made the creaking and popping sounds over the phone the rep knew my device had a real problem.
Coming from a Nexus 7 2013 I expected much more than this with the Pixel C.
Anyway I've now got to go through the whole rma process and organise a courier to pick up the defective Pixel C.
I have to say that I'll be returning the replacement Pixel C if it exhibits the same problem which is a real shame as I was quite excited about this device.
I fixed it by repeatedly clicking like 30 times. It finally got stuck. Lol
Maybe it has something to do with the glue used.
As Hazzo31 mentions above I too smelt a chemical citrus type smell coming from the Pixel when I received it.
Anyway my RMA is in progress so we'll see how the next one goes.
Same clicking issue for me.
French support arguing that it is normal, not a problem, the tablet is working fine, no exchange possible.
I'm returning the tablet and i'll have to wait for 10 days to get the refund...
I find it unbelievable :
This is the most expensive android tablet. An high-end flag-ship device, designed & built & sold by Google.
Yes, the device is usable, but how can I be sure that the screen or the touch panel will not break in 13 months?
I asked this already in a German Android Forum, but did not get a right answer yet:
My left shift key is jammed on the Pixel C Keyboard. Maybe a tiny piece fall in to the gap between key and frame.
I tried to blow it away, but it did not help.
So my question, does anyone knows how the key is fixed to the keyboard frame?
Is it glued or is it fixed in a way that after a removal it can reattched and works as before?
The iFixit Pixel C tear down does not show this detail.
They probably aren't meant to be removed, I just had to do the same with another keyboard. You can try to slip a knife blade under there and pry it up slightly so you can see if anything is under there.

The iFixit team answered my question regarding the jammed keyboard key and shows also how the key are fixed to the keyboard on the their Pixel C tear down page.
iFixit said:
* With an opening pick we can simply pop off the single keys.
* Behind it we find the traditional scissor mechanism. Larger keys have an additional small metal bar.
*The keys are also easy to clip on again. We are a bit worried about the tiny plastic clips breaking when trying to insert a key in the wrong orientation.

It worked, I could remove the key cap, cleaned the scissors mechanism and the shift key works as before. But be careful, the plastic clips which are attached on the metal wire bars are really fine and fragile. Use only soft pressure while assembling the key.

I little bit out of topic maybe, but my mi6 started showing some yellowish tones around the screen about 5mm in each side. anyone else encountering the same problem?
Mine is one year old and it doesn't have that issue. Maybe you need it to be repaired.
