Does your pulldown randomly stop working? - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

Every once in awhile, my notifications pull-down won't pull down.
If I lock the phone, then unlock it, the pull-down starts working again.
It's been like this through multiple clean OS re-installs.
Am on Magisk 17.3.
I've had more software bugs on the PXL3 than any other phone before, including the PXL1.

I have the same damn problem. It just doesn't work all the time. I also had the issue of bright white screen on double tap to wake. So, I called Google Support for this, and the guy on the other said made me clear the cache of the phone app, force stop it, turn the phone off for 2 mins and then restart for both issues. I even asked him how this relates to the fingerprint sensor not detecting, he replied some stuff that, phone app controls the vibration and the display waking up.
Of course both problems does not occur for me frequently, so after that procedure I did not encounter the white screen problem, but fingerprint gestures were still kinda hit and miss. Although they work pretty good now, less miss count. For me they work when I swipe just the edge of index finger lightly, also if finger is very dry, it doesn't detect.

I tried the pulldown five times while this logcat was running.
I'm on Nova Launcher but think it happened on stock launcher too.

top of screen unresponsive, but still detects touch

The top of the screen where the notification bar is is unresponsive...sort of. It registers touch like normal, except it thinks I am touching the screen about half a centimeter below where I am actually touching it. This is only present in the status bar area. Also, it is probably not a software issue as I have wiped the phone and installed other roms and kernels since the problem came up. Also, what's strange is that every now and then, it will just start working like normal again, and then stop after a while.
As a work around, you can use a custom launcher (adw, go, apex) which has homescreen swipe gestures and use something like "swipe down" to access the notification bar. If you notice this issue impedes your everyday use, swipe gestures are probably your best solution.

[Q] Problems with 5.1.1

My watch was working perfectly before the 5.1.1 update, but ever since the update, it is slow to wake, unable to swipe away cards from the watch face without opening them, the touch sensitivity is TERRIBLE....have to swipe over and over to get it to register, and for notifications I am unable to select "ALL"...can only select "priority" and "none".
Is anyone else having these problems?
5.1.1 problems are being discussed here if you're not aware:

No problem in starting a new thread, though.

I noticed that the touch screen seems derpy to me too. Something is definitely weird with the toggle shade thingy. I'm having the same problem with selecting "all". You can get it, but you have to find the exact spot below and to the left and tap frantically like a dozen times. I reccomend using the test app in developer settings and open the touch test. It will display a small grid and it will trace all your touches. Don't worry if it says fail. Just notice whether or not its tracking your finger. To get it to pass you have to turn the lines green by swiping in a certain direction. Mine tracks perfectly so, for me at least, the hardware is fine. Definitely a software issue.

Yesterday I installed the Android M preview on my phone, and so I had to do a reset on my watch. Now all of the touchscreen wonkiness has gone away, and it's working fine!
Before I was unable to get the app list to appear by swiping from the right, but only by tapping once. Also, I couldn't swipe in the center of the screen in the mode selector shade, but only above or below the row of icons. Now that's all working as well.

Device wake issues (power button ignoring first press)..

Hi,
I've had my M9 for a couple of weeks now, and slowly getting it to work how I want it to. One thing nagging me is this weird issue I have with waking the device from sleep.
I have tried to disable all the gesture/smart wake features (double tap the screen, etc). The issue I'm having seems to relate to the light and/or proximity sensor. It seems (and I haven't been able to find any info on this, online or on the phone) that there is a feature which will enable the device to wake up when being picked up or taken out of my pocket. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. When I pull my phone from my pocket, it will sometimes wake up. When I glide my finger over the front camera & light sensor, it will sometimes wake up. This is a minor annoyance, as I would like to only be able to wake my device by hitting the power button.
It gets really annoying when these 'gesture' wakes start to interfere with the power button wake. For example (and this is happening more often than not), when I pull my phone out of my pocket, the phone is off, then I hit the power button once, and the phone still doesn't wake. Hitting the power button a second time will wake the device. It seems to me that the smart waking is some how interfering with the manual waking.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
Any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks a lot for any help.
This is really odd considering the M9 doesn't support air gestures. Sorry, I have no solution, but is it possible you may have installed an app that may be causing this?
I would think two button push would be the normal, otherwise you could accidentally hit it once and turn the screen on. Do you have Ambient display and pocket detection all turned off ?
Gravity Screen in the play store gives you total control of all that stuff
That for the replies guys.
Clsa, there is no way to disable ambient display & pocket detect because those features do not exist on the M9 (at least... Not that I have found). That's what is bugging me.
I don't think the 2 button press is normal. I've never had to do it on previous phones.
Fernand - not sure if it is another app causing it. I think I have no extra apps installed compared to my last phone.
I just tried Gravity Screen, and it seems to just give me the ability to enable all the features I want to disable.
Any other suggestions?

Settings / Display & Gestures / Ambient display (Wake screen when device is picked up or notifications arrive)
Pocket Detection is part of some Rom Tweaks (insertcoin & viperOne if i remember right)
Hi again, that option is not available on my phone. Do you see it on your M9?
I don't have a custom ROM. Not rooted either.

Yes I have it, but I'm on LeeDroid right now. He adds so much stuff i forget whats "custom" and whats stock
Got the same issue
The power button will ignore the first push while standing by for a long time. Thought it might be caused by apps like greentify?
Hi Ducati, is that a fact or is that just how you understand it? Seems strange that that would be intentional. But it definitely seems to be the case.
I do not have greenify installed either.
Do you get similar behaviour on your One?
After a bit more testing. I can confirm that there are some sort of air gestures on this device. I can wave my finger in front of the front light sensor/camera, and the device will wake.
This doesn't happen all the time, I am not always able to reproduce this. But right now, it is happening. Can anyone else reproduce this?

I have the same issue on my M9. Glad I found this thread. Thought my power button was defective.
I can't activate any gestures by waving my hand.
I think it's happening mostly when waking from deep sleep.
I know it's an old thread, but I just installed CyanogenMod 12.1 and I guess my google-fu is rusty. I find that if I hit the power button in quick succession (double click) it turns off the phone. Anyone know how I can stop this?
By quick succession I mean multiple times within 20 seconds

Annoying issue...?

Many times after completing a call, moving the phone away from my ear, the clock alarm setup is displayed and I have clear it. Apparently somehow I am activating it during the call. For the life of me, I can not determine how it happens.
Anyone else experience the same, and if so, how do you prevent it from occuring?
TIA

If you swipe down from the status bar to show the notifications panel then tap on the time, it will take you to the alarm panel for the clock app. Maybe something is keeping the screen active even though it's off for the call. The swipe or double tap to wake feature on some of the custom kernels can keep the screen active for touches even though the screen is off

Question Lockscreen not always showing

The problem:
I will hit the power button to sleep the device. I have fingerptint/pin set as my lockscreen. My lockscreen wallpaper and home wallpaper are different, so the issue is easy to see. I sleep the device, then anywhere from 1-30 seconds later I hit the button again to wake it. Instead of showing the fingerprint scanner and my lockscreen wallpaper, it shows my home wallpaper, with the small gesture bar at the bottom. There are two ways to get past this, swipe down from the top for the quick tiles and then swipe them back up and the lockscreen wallpeper and fingerprint scanner shows. Or I can hit power to sleep and then power to wake again and my lockscreen is there.
I thought the issue was with the kernel at first because I hadn't noticed it outside of installing it. After flashing to stock kernel I noticed it happening again. It happens once every 5-10 wakes. It's not super annoying, but still annoying.
I have tried backing up and restoring everything from Google One, then rooting, then with and without a custom kernel, still the same issue.
I have also tried backing up and restoring all my data through SwiftBackup. For apps I backup all user app data parts: APKs, Data, Ext. data, Expansion, and Media. (Not sure if I even need to but certain games etc I don't want to lose data). After I restore I use the same Magisk 24000 to patch and flash the boot.img.
No matter what I've tried, the issue still seems to persist. If it helps, I am on Android SP2A.220405.004
If anyone might know what is causing this or how I can fix it, that would be great. Thanks!
